> Playing around with GPT at this level you get the feeling that “recursive GPT” is very close to AGI. You could even ask GPT to reinforcement learn itself, adding new prompts based on fixes to previous questions. Of course, who knows what will happen to all this when GPT-4 drops.

Leaning out of the window way too much here. This has nothing to do with AGI, which would require an intrinsic understanding of not only SQL, but over, well, everything, not just a well-defined and easily checkable field like SQL.

Regarding GPT-4 - OpenAI‘s CEO Sam Altman stated that the expectations regarding GPT-4 are way over-hyped. People on the Internet talk as if AGI is coming in the guise of GPT-4, but it‘s „just“ going to be an incrementally better evolution of GPT-3.5.

Mind, I‘m in no way saying that LLM‘s aren’t exciting - they are to me - or that they will not change the world, but leave your horses in the stable.

Right - it might be like self-driving cars: incredible progress, but the remaining task to get them to actually drive safely might be impossible.
